Anthony Jennings’ ex girlfriend, Jamela Villanueva, broke her silence and exposed the alleged intimate conversations he had with his love team partner, Maris Racal, prior to the breakup.
Villanueva made the revelation through a series of Instagram Stories on Tuesday, Dec. 3, alongside photos of Jennings and Racal’s exchange which she obtained from the actor’s phone.
Villanueva stressed that she is sharing her “truth” for her peace and to protect her family and herself from being “attacked by others.”
“I am grateful that Anthony finally chose to speak the truth because I had been carrying the weight of it all on my own for so long,” she said, referring to Jennings’ recent confirmation of their split. “It’s painful to be attacked by others when all I ever wanted was to protect my personal life—and protect him out of respect.”
“When Maris came into the picture, I was genuinely happy for you both, I even chose to be supportive, despite the red flags I couldn’t ignore,” she added. “I respected your craft. I believed in you both. But betrayal like this cuts deep.”

Villanueva then shared Jennings and Racal’s exchange back in June where the pair agreed to delete their messages on each other’s phones, hoping they would no longer need to do so “someday.”
Villanueva noted that Jennings apparently informed her of this, explaining that “he had to do it for work.” The actor apparently further said that “he need[s] to make [Racal] feel loved and appreciated because she was going through something as well.”
In some parts of Jennings and Racal’s conversation, the former offered to be the latter’s company, while the actress invited him to her house to be her “pillow.” Jennings and Racal also allegedly “made out” at a party, which the actor admitted to Villanueva.
However, it did not stop there as the actors still had an exchange seemingly alluding to their intimate moments. More conversations from the love team where they talked about their international trips, house visits, and even Villanueva were shown by the latter.
Parts of it also show Jennings asking Villanueva to make her social media accounts private, vowing that he would end what’s going on between him and Racal.
“But even then, they still couldn’t resist each other,” Villanueva lamented.
At the latter part of her post, Villanueva dedicated an open letter to Jennings, thanking him for their almost seven year-relationship.

“I allowed this to happen because I thought it was the best way to support them both. Most importantly, I trusted my partner and her—as a woman,” Villanueva added, apparently referring to Racal.
